Law Offices 901-903 Kinney Building JOHN W. McGEEHAN, Jr. 790 Broad Street Telephone 9113 Market cor. Market St. Newark, N.J. Cable address "Geehan" (Western Union Code) July 3rd, 1925. United States Radium Corporation, 412 Alden Street, Orange, New Jersey. Gentlemen: I have been consulted by the family of Helen E. Quinlan who was employed by your company during the year 1922 and who contracted an illness which resulted in her death in the middle of the year 1923. The symptoms and developments of her illness were precisely the same as those in the recent cases involving employees of yours who have died from the effects of the condi- tions under which they were permitted to work. The family would prefer to have the matter amicably adjusted and do not desire the publicity or inconvenience of litigation, so I am therefore writing you to request that you communicate with me to discuss the matter with a view toward a settlement of the same, if possible. Very truly yours, Signed- John W.McGeehan,Jr. JWMJ
